Lunch On Fridays: Walking the Talk of Engagement

Spend a lunch hour learning about the latest in art and design during these Friday lectures. Each lecture features a variety of artists and designers from around the world, including CIA faculty and visiting artists. This event is free and open to the public. Pizza and beverages will be provided.

Come and hear from some of the many CIA faculty who are connecting their classes to professional engagement beyond the classroom. What are these "engaged practice" classes about? Why are these faculty interested in this type of teaching? What is the benefit to students?
